Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:48:21 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803134822.2568766-1-ekffu200098@gmail.com> (raw)
pgdat_page_ext_init() sets pgdat->node_page_ext to NULL only on
FLATMEM. FLATMEM depends on !NUMA on every architecture, so the
pgdat is always the zero-initialized contig_page_data and the store
has no effect.
So remove the call site, the unused function and its declaration.
No functional change.
